I like the sound and his voice is good but I hope there are some better tracks on the album.

Have just pre-ordered the box set from Amazon UK (via the SickthingsUK link, of course)!

That's a polite request not an order

I'm going to hang fire - £80 seems a bit steep. On the Good Records site there's a CD with the blu ray for around $22 and some funky coloured vinyls. So will hope for a CD/Blu-ray release in Europe and a couple of limited edition vinyls. Not that fussed about the cap and little gifts - the Detroit Stories one at £50 represented better value with a shirt included IMO.

There is also this, but with a DVD instead of Blu-Ray:

They were gentle on us collectors with the Hollywood Vampires release, but are going full throttle for our wallets with this one!

Information about the various formats its coming on (so far) are already on the news page and the album page, so not sure why people are wondering whether certain combinations will be available...

Looks like the album's runtime is ~47 minutes based on Apple Music.

Of a 13 track album I can deal with one or two covers, Detroit Stories had too many covers and aside from a couple of tracks it's just not a memorable album for me.- partly burnt out with the Breadcrumbs release prior.

I wonder why they didn't elect to re-do 'From The Inside' because this would fit in with the overall theme of the album:

"I got lost on the road somewhere
Was it Texas or was it Canada"
People try to put us down
Just because we get around

13 tracks with one cover and a remake I can deal with. Leaves eleven new originals which is much better than Detroit Stories. Be happy they didn't redo (No More) Love At Your Convenience or recover that Ubangi Stomp.

not sure if i'm missing anything but i can't find a bluray version? they all say in the blurb " accompanying bluray/DVD but the summary of the item says "+ DVD". search just seems to be giving me the cd, cd/dvd and vinyl option

Not sure what you want but here's what I understand:
ALL vinyl comes with a DVD
Then there are CD, CD+DVD, and CD+Blu Ray
And then the box set with one of everything.
If you want a direct link to exact combination you want just shout.

Road Rats was a very good song off a poor album. I saw it performed live and it was even better. I imagine this band will do it justice.

For future reference, and I think many people maybe don`t realise this, if you look at ANY page for the release, under the price area it says "See all x formats and editions". Clicking this will show you more versions/configurations of any given product. Clicking on the one you want will take you to the page for that version.

I like Magic Bus, but I have a hard time believing a cover of it would turn out well. Baby Please Don't Go has been covered to death. I don't care for the original version of Road Rats. Seeing these songs on the tracklist combined with the fact that I didn't care for the first single has lowered my expectations for the album quite a bit. But, who knows, Alice might surprise me. At the very least it's nice to have the Hellfest show available on BR; it's a great concert.

Good job it doesn't appear to be a cover then...
